Boot looks very tidy. What was your method for removing the seam sealer? especially down in the hard to reach wheel wells!

Thanks for all the replies. I think I will go with it, i was never going to be able to fit people in the back anyway as to fit in comfortably i have to the seat all the way back which pretty much rules out the back seat. I think as long as it's built properly and padded right it will be safer than not having one.

I'm still in the planning phase of what i'm going to be doing to my ke55, it's going to mainly be a street car with occasionally track time for fun. I'm thinking about putting in a half cage/harness/bucket seat. I was wondering whether people think this is actually safe in a car that will be driven on the street? as i have seen a lot of debate about it. The cage would be properly padded and harness set up correctly. Reasons for wanting the cage: -To me if wearing the harness properly and decent/proper padding on cage it seems safer in a crash (or is this not the case if not wearing a helmet) -A lot of track days i have seen need at least a half cage to take a passenger -I like the whole look of a cage and harness setup Thoughts? On a similar note, people thoughts on stitch welding the car whilst it's stripped down (safe/not safe for street car)? Cheers, Eli

Hey guys, Just wanting to get some advice regarding using velocity stacks on a 4age, whether or not this is legal/engineerable? (just running the stacks, not inside plenum) on an 4age 20v blacktop going in a ke55. (located vic) Just trying to do all my research before buying parts and before talking to an engineer. i know you have to keep all emissions gear with the engine conversion and i know i read somewhere you can have pod filter or cai but not both. Just trying to figure out what area velocity stacks fall into? Cheers

or a steel pipe over your breaker bar for maximum torque (make sure you use decent 6 point sockets)

Just realised i don't have an M10x1.25 in my kit, does anyone know a store i can buy individual taps (Melbourne)? Thanks

Thanks for the reply, i shall get some loctite.

Yeah it is. But yeah definitely not worth the risk so won't be staying like that. Just another quick question, The bolts that held the flex plate to the crank had split washers. The bolts that i have for the flywheel don't, so do i need to use them?
-
Yeah was thinking the same. I was just assembling it make sure i could get it all working before i tear it all apart again for a rebuild. I think for now i will try and clean it with a tap, use some locktite and get it working just take it for a drive down the driveway. Then when i pull it apart i'll just get a new 4k or maybe even a 5k. Thanks for the help

When putting a bolt in it goes in fine the first half, then just stops and can't go further. Even though the thread in the bottom half looks fine. It's probably not worth getting a keensert put in. http://imgur.com/IgCYd0Y (larger image)I'm currently in the process of converting a ke55 from auto manual, I took off the torque converter and flex plate and when i went to install the flywheel one of the bolts would only go halfway in. I had a look at the thread in the hole and about halfway down the tread just looks completely stuffed. Just wondering what options I have? Was thinking of using a tap with the same size to try and clean up the thread? (what size and pitch is that?) Or if that doesn't work just tapping the next size up? ThanksThanks guys, i'll try and play around with the rod. It's definitely harder to push or pull than the fronts but i thought that would just be because of the different design. what should i lube up the mechanism with ?Hey, so i'm installing central locking in my ke55, i've got the front doors working perfectly but i've run into a brick wall when it comes to the rears. I've tried a couple of positions but the angles just won't work. the redline in the picture is where i've also tried mounting it. Any suggestions/ideas? thanks
Okay thanks. How much did you shorten your struts? are the needle bearing spring hats the t3 ones?
